So on Capcom Unity, they just announced that the planned Mega Man Legends 3 Project was canned. Bummer.

This makes me wonder about what Capcom has coming out...that is remotely interesting.

I was just about to make a thread. Can't say that I'm surprised after the Mega Man Universe treatment a while ago. Boo!

What? Wasn't there a demo out though?

Well, I played the first game a while ago on the N64... not the best version, but still, kind of unfortunate that they can't get anything good going with Megaman lately.

If they cancelled it though, it was probably for good reasons.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Rumors abound say that the demo didn't get enough downloads, which was one of the reasons why the business men in their business suits decided to shut down the project.

*laughs maliciously*

The Prototype Version was never released on the North American eShop. Don't know about the Japanese eShop.

No Kenji no megaman

The Capcom Unity post specifically stated that Inafune's departure had nothing to do with the cancellation.

The news makes me sad, but also not surprised.  There is no way the game would sell great here in the US at least.  Sadly, it was the right move.

God Damnit.

What a disappointment. Megaman needs a serious boost these days, and this cancellation isn't helping his case.

Of course they're going to say that. PR. I don't believe this one bit.

I kind of laughed when I read about this because this was the only game I was interested in for the eshop, oh well.

People have been known to write things that aren't true. Especially business people.

I'm just sayin'.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!

FUCK!

I'm sure Capcom had perfectly good business reasons for this and I can't blame them for making business decisions, but I am legitimately sad about this.

Mega Man Legends was a weirdly important game to me growing up and I was super excited that it was coming back. I wish it could have had a chance.

MOTHERFUCKER........  
Sorry....just...... *sigh*

Oh well. Maybe they'll finally get around to making Mega Man X9. :)

... fuck

What, really? I never played the other Legends games, but they seem to have a strong following...

After this and the cancellation of Mega Man Universe, I think it'll be a long while before X9 sees the light of day.

Wow what the hell.

MEGA MAN IS FUCKING DEAD WHY DID YOU DO THIS CAPCOM.

Fuck!

Shit is looking bad for Nintendo.

Bad

I understand the disappointment over this, but my personal opinion of the series has always been clunky controls and irritating voice acting. I still enjoyed them enough to play through to the end though.

Boooo.
 
Then again, I never liked the idea it was set for the 3DS, so...  
 
That sounds like a lot of money Capcom has just flushed down the toilet by canceling both Universe and now Legends 3.  Though, guess they figured those projects would cost them more to try and finish and sell than just scrapping it all.

Bad

I am now 90% less interested in buying a 3DS

Nintendo really should have pushed them to have this game come out.

No Ace Attorney or Mega Man. Do you not want my money, Capcom?

@SuperfluousMoniker: Having a one-off sequel to Mega Man in the same NES style was cute... but a second time was stretching it. A third one? Hell. No.

But you know it's the only way Capcom will put out a new Mega Man game... minimal asset generation, maximum profit...

Well what did they expect? It was the fucking e-shop.

Only the prototype version demo was for the eShop. The full final game would have been a retail release.

Megaman's slowly fading away into nothingness

This pissed me off- I actually imported the first two games for PSP. Here's a wallpaper to make us feel better: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mrangryface/all-images/52-553606/1311052277676/51-1842326/

Capcom continues to be awful, and I continue to not support Capcom.
 
"Hope ya like re-releases of games you already bought, because that's all we ever make anymore!!!"

Im kinda getting irked with fighting games and DLC- honestly if youre able to release characters that are solid contributions to the roster within the first year months of release F U- shoulda been in the game to begin with. Im lookin @ U Mortal Kombat.

Still- waiting for SSF4 AE PC was sooooo worth it.

Why do these Japanese companies hate their fans so fucking much! First Project Rainfall now this?! This is extremely frustrating.

I think its because they think that because we tend to buy a bunch of crap in mass quantities- and theyve suddenly become so bad at making games that sell in mass quantities in America, they need to avoid taking risks. Its a shame that one of the few publishers that appreciates its niche market (NiS) also feels the needs to ship panties with their games as pre-order bonuses. We cant win!
